The genus Scedosporium and its relatives comprising microascalean anamorphs with slimy conidia were studied. Graphium and Parascedosporium also belong to this complex, while teleomorphs are found in Pseudallescheria, Petriella, Petriellopsis, and Lophotrichus. Species complexes were clearly resolved by rDNA ITS sequencing. Significantly different ecological trends were observed between resolved...

Osteomyelitis resulting from a mold infection often presents as a chronic and indolent disease process. Described here for the first time is a case of osteomyelitis of the foot caused by the mold Pseudallescheria fusoidea, which resulted from traumatic implantation after an injury sustained 3 years earlier.

The importance of growth factors in the nutrition of shigellae was recognized by Koser and Saunders (1935) and it was shown that the growth factors present in tissue extract could be replaced by nicotinic acid (Koser et al., 1938). The importance of nicotinic acid and nicotinamide as growth factors in the nutrition of shigellae has been shown by Dorfman et al. (1939). Reports of other vitamins ...

Eleven bacterial strains are described which give the biochemical reactions characteristic of the genus Shigella but do not belong to any of the established or provisional serovars. The strains are biochemically and serologically indistinguishable, and it is proposed that they be regarded as members of a new provisional serovar of Shigella boydii. Strain E10163 is designated as the test strain ...
